申叔舟의 爲國愛民 樣相과 漢詩 硏究

Abstract

Shin-sook-joo(申叔舟：from 1417 to 1475, Pen Name：Bohanjae：保閑齋) is a subject who served from Sejong(世宗：4th King) up to Sungjong(成宗：9th King)’s tenure. Sejong appreciated his ability and another king Sejo(世祖) assigned him to a important post. At the early Chosun dynasty due to non-primogeniture succession(from Jungjong<定宗>, Taejong<太宗> to Sejong the royal authority was not stable. From Sejong’s tenure his primogeniture succeeded to the throne and the royal authority looked stable for a while. But due to short tenure(27 months) his first son Danjong(端宗) succeeded to the throne when he was only 12 years old. The Royal family and retainers had continuous conflicts on the way of government operation and Gye-Yoo coop(癸酉靖 亂) took place in 1453 by Soo-yang-dae-goon(Sejo). Danjong yielded his king position to him in the end. Gye-Yoo coop separated scholars into two groups. One was upholding a cause and the other one was pursuing the reality. After a while there was a try to restore the Danjong’s king position and authority. The loyalty of Sa-yook-shin(死六臣：six members to support this try even sacrificing their lives) and the defection of the other group has become a main important historical topic that last for a long time. Sejo said “They(the six members) are treacherous subject at these days and will be loyal subjects in the later time”. This became an evidence that led to the restoration of Danjong’s original(King) position. Even though he was suffered under the nickname of ‘betrayer’ but I think that we can not disregard all of his performance only due to this. The choice can differ per each contemporary situation and personal values. We analyze his chinese poems into three main topics. 1) He desired the timing that wise king and good subject meet and work together. 2) He was very self-confident for his work and had good power to foresee the future. 3) He went through the ‘Li-shi-Ae’s coop(李施愛亂) and politics by the Confucians during Sung-jong’s tenure. This made him felt skeptical about the performance that he achieved and the frailty of life. It is the main theme of this thesis that we reconstruct who he really was through tracking the historic records about him.
